MDMK chief Vaiko, an ally of the National Democratic Alliance, today held a protest in New Delhi against the visit of Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa to attend Narendra Modi's swearing-in ceremony

Vaiko held a black-flag demonstration at Jantar Mantar in Delhi.

The MDMK chief had opposed the invitation extended to the Sri Lankan President and had asked the Prime Minister-designate as well as BJP President Rajnath Singh to reconsider the decision.

Vaiko had earlier written a letter to Mr Modi expressing his sadness over the invitation being extended to Mr Rajapaksa for the event.

Recalling that no Sri Lankan Head of State was invited when Atal Bihari Vajpayee was sworn in as Prime Minister, Vaiko had pointed out that even Manmohan Singh had not invited the Sri Lankan President for his swearing-in ceremony.

"They did not dare to invite Mahinda Rajapaksa to the swearing-in ceremony in 2004 and 2009," he had said.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa and DMK President M Karunanidhi have also opposed the invite to Mr Rajapaksa.

The Sri Lankan President arrived this morning for the ceremony.(NDTV)

Last week I was in Mumbai, India
In a conversation with our Indian business partners I happened to mention the name Vaiko.
To my surprise, no body has ever heard such a name in the Indian political arena.
so, good lesson..don't get over concerned about these jokers..Indian don't even care about them..
